They released one studio album, Through the Years, in 2013. The players include: Andrei Sarandi on drums, Stanislav Nikitin on guitar, Vyacheslav Babienko on bass guitar and Andrei Sokolov on keys, with Natalia Kolesnik on Viola.

From Silent Grace's official webpage (Using Google Translate):

"We never had a question in what style to play ... from the very beginning it was clear that it would be progressive, art rock, or something like that. Not so important as the genre of music is called. All this is relative and conditional ... If we talk about creativity itself and its orientation, it is most likely a certain fixation of feelings, feelings, ups and downs - that which comes out from the inside through sound waves, reflected in the listener's heart, can make him an involuntary participant in some internal action. And it doesn?t even matter how accurate our presentation is, the essence of what we put in contact with the perception of other people. It is important for us that the music leaves its mark. So that the moment of listening is a moment of sincerity, when there is no need to explain anything. It will not be a great revelation if we say that we compose more for ourselves."
